Thanks to Chip, one of my readers, for letting me know about this sad news. According to the obituary, former gay porn star Shane Erickson passed away at the age of 38 back in September 26, 2023. His boyfriend who found the body wrote this message on GoFundMe:
A week ago after searching for him for two days I finally found him… unresponsive and long beyond aid on the floor of a hotel room. We don’t have any real answers yet as to what happened, but Im now tasked with pulling it together enough to write this to please ask for assistance in the costs of his cremation etc… I don’t even know what to say, he had been struggling for a long time with demons from his past. I did everything I could to be there for him and I couldn’t save him…
I also found this article he wrote in 2015 titled “I Killed Shane Erickson” My Own Step Out Story. This is too sad. My condolences to his friends and family.
